Teresa Allerhand Poleski When she was 17 she was sent to a horrible concentration camp. At age 19 she lost her father sadly, and she was then moved to supposedly the worst concentration camp, though luckily she was moved again. There she made German uniforms. She met her husband in a ghetto. After German troops were defeated she and her husband remained in Poland, although some morbid things and people lingered in Poland. So, Teresa and her husband then traveled to Israel to flee from these horrible circumstances. Once during an Appell, a time when ghetto residents were swept away and sent to death camps, a Nazi soldier told Teresa to run away. This saved her life. Moshe In Hungary, Moshe was born to a Jewish family in the year of 1920. He escaped to the forest when the second World War began. He lived there for years with gentile partisans and pretended to be one of them because they did not like Jews. Gentiles also abused and possibly killed Jews. After the war he returned to his village, and found that a people he loved perished. He then traveled to Israel and basically started his life from scratch.

Holocaust Museum
This is an image of the entrance to the Huston Holocaust Museum. It has a plethora of artifacts and information on the Holocaust. This is where the butterflies schools (Including our school, Lincoln) were collecting go. Concentration Camp Tattoos
Numbers were tattooed on Concentration Camp prisoners to identify them. They were permanent, so those who survived the Holocaust till have them today, that is they're still alive. Some young adults or children want to get tattoos like those as a way to honor Holocaust survivors. Survivors
Although the Holocaust was a devastating event there were some "good" things about it. For example, the survivors! They can offer much more information than a simple textbook. They are like a living encyclopedia about the Holocaust!
Malnourishment
This is an extremely saddening image. (Please do not direct your attention to it for very long). Most people during the Holocaust were malnourished, which means unhealthy and underfed. Those over six months were considered "adults" therefore they were not allowed milk. Holocaust Remembrance Day
Holocaust Remembrance Day is a day which is when those who where in the Holocaust are recognized. It occurs on April 27. I did not remember it this year, but I believe that those people were/are incredible.
What I Learned from Safe Haven Warsaw Zoo I learned so much from this educational film. Here are some notes I took while my class (Mr. Kuntz's accelerated reading) watched this incredible movie. (Not all notes are shown).
Hitler ordered Nazis to kill Jews with fire
Hitler filmed himself to show people how he was doing a "heroic" act.
The Zabinski's housed many Jews, and because of this two of three survived!
The animals where slaughtered by the Germans or burned to death.
Those who were over six months were considered "adults", and past that age they were not allowed milk, although not a soul was fed well
Jews had to wear wristbands, so the Nazis knew who they were
A child laughed when a ghetto was being liquidated, but his grandmother told him to be quiet
Children smuggled food, because they were small and could fit through small crevices.
What I learned from Paperclips
Another short video Mr. Kuntz's class watched was Paperclips which was about school children in a town with no diversity. I also learned much from this one too. Here is some information on the film.
Why are Paperclips a Symbol of the Holocaust: The paperclip is a symbol of the holocaust because Norwegians made paperclips to represent that they disliked the Holocaust.
Notes:
Students in Whitwell, Tenesse collected paperclips. The goal was to collect one for every person that perished in the Holocaust. They wrote letters to famous and important people.
In the first month of this project a man donate 100,000 paperclips, though after a while collections were getting fewer and fewer.
This project was reported on the Nightly News, six weeks after the report six million paperclips were collected.
The children also listened to the stories of survivors.
A rail-cart was ordered to store the paperclips in. This same cart transported Jews to concentration camps many years ago.

Holocaust Wrap-Up
I feel the Holocaust was such an emotional moment in history. It was extremely saddening, of course, but also if it had not happened I would not have learned about it at all! It was so interesting and was a great experience watching movies and I learned much about Jews and Hitler! This is me in the library! My forehead looks shiny. I love my cats named Lucky, Cookie, and Z-Z. I call Cookie Churro. If you haven't figured it out yet I'm a little weird. It's pretty obvious I have bright red hair. At the store it was actually called magenta. The other color was like fire-engine red. Okay this is getting random. Also don't judge someone, but if you know that totally completely evil, kill them. No, I kid. Everyone deserves to live, right? Yes, okay bye. Do you wanna build a snowman, blah blah blah. Okay bye. A kingdom soufflé, and it looks like I'm the chef.
This is my most normal picture I think.
See crazy!
This is my crazy hair. See red hair.
Wait this is my most regular, okay bye. Au revoir!
